A gas insulated switchgear (GIS) system is provided including at least two separate modules including components of GIS, the at least two separate modules being independent of one another and configured to be assembled into the GIS system at a destination, wherein one or more of the at least two separate modules includes one of cabling and a solid insulated bus bar to connect the GIS system to an electrical power system at the destination. Related cabling modules are also provided.

Modular gas insulated switchgear systems and related cabling modules

Modular switchgear systems are provided including at least two separate modules including components of switchgear. The at least two separate modules are independent of one another. One of the at least two separate modules is a stationary module and remaining ones of the at least two separate modules are removable such that the remaining ones of the at least two separate modules are configured to engage and/or disengage easily from the stationary module and an electrical power system. Related removable modules are also provided.

Interchangeable switchgear modules and related systems

An electromagnetic actuator includes a housing and a bobbin positioned within the housing and secured relative thereto so as to be centered therein, the bobbin comprising a bobbin formed of a non-magnetic material. The electromagnetic actuator also includes a coil wound about the bobbin and a magnetic circuit comprising a plurality of actuator components positioned within the housing and on or adjacent to the bobbin. The actuator components include a permanent magnet that induces a magnetic flux flow through the magnetic circuit so as to generate a magnetic force, and an armature selectively movable within an opening formed through the bobbin responsive to the magnetic force and to current selectively provided to the coil. The bobbin locates and centers the components of the magnetic circuit about the central axis and provides a bearing surface for the armature as it moves within the opening formed through the bobbin.

Electromagnetic actuator with reduced performance variation

Insulated vacuum switchgear and active switchgear elements therefor are provided with a rigid support structure mechanically isolating a vacuum insulator from axial loads in use without reinforcing or insulating encapsulations. At least one of the elastomeric insulating housing and the support structure directly contacts an outer surface of the insulator. Systems and methods for assembling the switchgear are also provided.

Method of assembling a vacuum switchgear assembly

Insulated vacuum switchgear and active switchgear elements therefor are provided with a composite overwrap for mechanically isolating a vacuum insulator from axial loads in use without reinforcing or insulating encapsulations. A dielectric buffer layer is provided to fill voids or discontinuities in the overwrap.
